The former US president Barack Obama has 130,272,840 Twitter followers, more than anyone else on the microblogging platform. Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is currently in second place, with 114,406,040 followers.
Although he left office in 2017, Obama continues to tweet on subjects ranging from his philanthropic efforts to his wife, Michelle, and family life. His tweet in response to the violence at a protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, became the most popular tweet of 2017. Reading “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion,” it was taken from Nelson Mandela's autobiography Long Walk to Freedom. Obama followed it with further lines from the same book.
